Functional Design Methodology for Customized Anthropomorphic Artificial Hands

چکیده
This short paper outlines a framework for an evaluation method that takes as an input a model of an anthropomorphic artificial hand and produces as output the set of tasks that it can perform. The framework is based on the anatomy and functionalities of the human hand and methods of implementing these functionalities in artificial systems and focuses on the evaluation of the intrinsic hardware of robot hands. The paper also presents a partial implementation of the framework: a method to evaluate anthropomorphic postures using Fuzzy logic and a method to evaluate anthropomorphic grasping abilities. The methods are applied on models of the human hand and the InMoov robot hand; results show the methods' ability to detect successful postures and grasps. Keywords— Haptic Feedback, Haptic Rein, Navigation

Towards the Rationalization of anthropomorphic Robot Hand Design: Extracting Knowledge from Constrained Human Manual Dexterity Testing
In this work we take a new approach to the determination of the quantified contribution of various attributes of the human hand to its dexterity, with the aim of transposing this knowledge into supportive guidelines for the design of anthropomorphic robotic and prosthetic hands. We have carried out a number of standard dexterity tests on normal human subjects with various physical constraints a...

How functional versatility emerges in vertebrate limbs in spite of their anatomical complexity is a longstanding question. In particular, fingers are actuated by numerous muscles pulling on tendons following intricate paths. In contrast, the tendon-driven robotic hands with intuitive tendon routings preferred by roboticists for their ease of analysis and control do not perform at the level of t...
